how to draw seven circles

open with the mouse model & close your

eyes. walk with arms extended for fresh

exposure. coryphées feted in a bipartite

division strike each chair in the cunning

little machine before you bump into one

who bears a burden & longing & cry thru

which you entered: an exit. this erasure

of featured ears composes the first two.

the sestet eases the load. you have fallen

but they’ll cushion & convey before faces

touch. eyes soft targets for two more. lift

torches in the curve of a baby grand while

origins tail footfalls. deconstruct the nose

for an unexpected duo. now void the crown.
